The Knight of the Dancing Demon
Feb. 22nd, 2017 11:15 pmThe festivals of the Out-Realms were something to be marveled at. One just had to wander nearby and listen to the loud crack of a breaking lance, followed by the cheers of a nearby public, to see the sort of attention it got.
In particular, it got that of a young knight riding a horse, hooves with iron shoes clanking over the dirt, armor and shield so lavishly colored in red that she smiled at any sort of attention she got from the populace, proudly rising her lance up, and showing her emblem: A Demon with four eyes with a lance on top of it, a roman number II below it, and her name in a banner: ASUKA.
And, on the way, the knight's horse stops in front of a boy. The kind of attention that Lady Asuka got, all attention that she got from peasants, whenever if she stood in their sunlight, or if they presented something she was interested in.
Namely, in this case, a bard.
"Hey, you!" She nods at him from above her horse, "shouldn't you be greeting a new knight into these lands?"
